In late 2006 Toyota will begin building the Hybrid Camry.

The hybrid Camry will come equipped with a Synergy Drive that will deliver the highest level of Camry performance ever achieved in both fuel efficiency and low emissions and also achieve impressive power.
Toyota plans to invest $10 million to adapt existing lines for hybrid production at its Kentucky plant.
The Wall Street Journal had earlier reported that Toyota is also considering the possibility of producing the Prius hybrid or a hybrid version of the small Corolla sedan in North America.
